The more they change...the more they stay the same..

I am a student of history and I keep wondering if this is what the average German saw in the mid 30's as his entire society changed because of the imperial edicts that came from the Reich Chancellors office and the local gauleiter and the party office.

Does this sound like a German dictator plan of 70 years

Homeland
Security graduates first Corps of Homeland
Youth

October
7, 2012. Vicksburg . The federal government calls them FEMA Corps. But they
conjure up memories of the Hitler Youth of 1930’s Germany . Regardless of their
name, the Dept of Homeland Security has just graduated its first class of 231
Homeland Youth. Kids, aged 18-24 and recruited from the President’s AmeriCorp
volunteers, they represent the first wave of DHS’s youth corps, designed
specifically to create a full time, paid, standing army of FEMA Youth across the
country.

On
September 13, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security graduated its first
class of FEMA Corps first-responders. While the idea of having a volunteer force
of tens of thousands of volunteers scattered across the country to aid in times
of natural disasters sounds great, the details and timing of this new government
army is somewhat curious, if not
disturbing.

DHS
raising an armed army

The
first problem one finds with this ‘new army’ is the fact that they are mere
children. Yes, 18 is generally the legal age a person can sign a contract, join
the military or be tried as an adult. But ask any parent - an 18, 20 or even a
24 year-old is still a naïve, readily-influenced kid.

The
second problem with this announcement and program is its timing. Over the past
two years, President Obama has signed a number of Executive Orders suspending
all civil and Constitutional rights and turning over management of an America
under Martial Law to FEMA. Also in that time, domestic federal agencies under
DHS, including FEMA, have ordered billions of rounds of ammunition as well as
the corresponding firearms. Admittedly, these new weapons and ammunition aren’t
to be used in some far-off war or to fight forest fires in California , but
right here on the streets of America .

Strange
Armored Fighting Vehicles

Individuals
around the US have begun reporting the site of strange, new, heavily-armed FEMA
fighting vehicles. What would a disaster relief agency like FEMA need with 2,500
brand new GLS armored fighting vehicles? According to the agency’s own mandate,
as well as President Obama’s recent Executive Order, the answer is ‘population
control’ during a time of Martial Law.

One
set of images made available by Rense.com shows trailer after trailer
carrying these new DHS and FEMA armored fighting vehicles, complete with machine
gun slots. They’re labeled with the usual backward American flag and the title,
‘Homeland Security’. Below that and the DHS logo, it also reads, ‘Immigration
& Customs Enforcement’. Joining those markings, the black vehicles with
white lettering also display ‘POLICE/RESCUE’ on one side and ‘Special Response
Team’ on the other.

FEMA
Corps

FEMA
Deputy Administrator Rich Serino gave the keynote address at the ‘Induction
Ceremony’ for the inaugural class of FEMA Corps members. According to the DHS
website, ‘Corps members assist with disaster preparedness, response,
and recovery activities, providing support in areas ranging from working
directly with disaster survivors to supporting disaster recovering centers to
sharing valuable disaster preparedness and mitigation information with the
public.’

Serino
describes what the first FEMA Corps class has accomplished so far, as well as
where they’ll be going next:

‘Yesterday,
we welcomed 231 energetic members into the first ever FEMA Corps class. The
members just finished off their first month of training with our partners at the
Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and are one step closer to
working in the field on disaster response and recovery. They will now head to
FEMA’s Center for Domestic Preparedness to spend the next two weeks training in
their FEMA position-specific roles. Once they complete both the CNCS and FEMA
training, these 231 dedicated FEMA Corps members will be qualified to work in
one of a variety of disaster related roles, ranging from Community Relations to
Disaster Recovery Center support.’

A
standing army

Unlike
most local disaster response teams who are volunteers, training periodically and
only showing up when there’s a disaster, the FEMA Corps will be a paid, full
time, standing army of government youth. FEMA Deputy Administrator Sarino goes
on to explain, ‘The new members, who range in age from 18-24 years old, will
contribute to a dedicated, trained, and reliable disaster workforce by working
full-time for ten months on federal disaster response and recovery
efforts.’

In
closing his announcement of the first graduating class of FEMA Corps Youth,
Sarino describes his and the agency’s vision of the future, one where ‘FEMA
Corps sets the foundation for a new generation of emergency
managers’.

DHS
arms itself

As
we detailed in the August 28 Whiteout Press article ‘History of DHS
Ammunition Purchases’, federal emergency management agencies are
looking more and more like a military army every day.

The
federal government’s procurement website actually lists DHS’ requests for bids
to supply it with ammunition and military weaponry. All of the orders listed in
the above article, including the orders for hundreds of millions of rounds of
ammunition, are publicly available athttp://www.fbo.gov.

One
look at a chart of DHS ammunition purchases over the past decade reveals a
drastic spike in orders of bullets recently, totaling in the billions of rounds.
Other charts available online show a similar drastic spike in the purchases of
accompanying weaponry by the Department of Homeland
Security.

What
is the US federal government preparing for? And why does it feel it needs an
army of brainwashed youth, millions of guns, thousands of armored fighting
vehicles and literally billions of rounds of ammunition, just to provide relief
to the American people during a natural disaster? Any historian will tell you it
sounds more like the arming of the Hitler Youth than an army of first responders
fighting forest fires and hurricanes.
